Esme at Chocolate and Croissants knew these Golden Eggs were going to come out golden -- she samples as she cooks and she says the raw batter was decadent and the finished product every bit the delectable puffs of sweetness she imagined...

Jamie enjoys her Adventures in SF; she was inspired by the book -- which I had described as Gesine's love letter to her mother -- and the memory of her own mom to make a whole fish -- she also offers these lovely Red, White and Blue Cupcakes that she made for a friend's recent citizenship celebration.

Irene thinks this is the best damn cake she's ever made. And considering some of the mouth watering creations she's been posting at Confessions of a Tart, that's saying something. This Black Forest (aka Drunken Cherry Cake) was made in honor of her father's birthday -- and as a nod to Gesine's German heritage.

Susan at Dragon Musings made these Golden Eggs Cupcakesand a Golden Egg cake as well! They may taste doughnut-like warm from the oven but she says they're fantastic cold too!

A deep, heartfelt thanks to all our participants for their delicious, soul-satisfying contributions and for making our event so much fun!
